Swype

Nuance Communications

Swipe to type with this revolutionary keyboard.

It’s the ideal app for those who want to type even faster.

$0.99 $0.99

Why we picked this?

Swype makes it easier than ever before to input text on your iDevice. You must first install the keyboard by following the tutorial steps found in the app. Once installed, all you have to do is swipe over the keys and Swype will accurately predict your words. The more you use it, the smarter it will get. The app includes support for 21 different languages, and a customizable keyboard layout.

If you feel that your current method of text input is cumbersome, give Swype a try. It may take a little bit of getting used to, but once you get going, you’ll never look back.

Swipe typing definitely isn’t for everyone. It’s a little difficult to get the hang of, so if you don’t have the patience, don’t give it a second thought.

Videos can be trimmed down and spruced up with effects and a soundtrack. Finished projects can be saved to your library or uploaded to Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, or Vimeo.
